Monogatari series. I must have watched that entire series like a dozen times already. I absolutely love the VA's performance. Finally reading through the Light Novels now.
Hajime No Ippo. Manga is still a blast and the anime was incredible too.
I had a good time with Blue Lock as well.

Sigh... I just bought a usb-c cable that doesn't support display stream compression but is fine for 160w power. No where did it ever say it wasn't capable of driving multiple monitors...

Here's the issue I have with your position... AI is such a generic term it's difficult to have a fulfilling conversation using it but in my field a form of AI like machine learning is going to eliminate an entire sector of manufacturing... Boutique precision machined components have been thought as an impenetrable wall against AI but it's basically the same lackluster defense used not long ago about Generative images couldn't produce hands properly... It's not a matter of if but when.
Imo, the catastrophe happens when a successful AI scales. Or perhaps rather how suddenly a successful AI model will bury the existing system into irrelevancy. Boeing and most aerospace manufacturers have a machinist union but none of that will protect against a future where people are no longer necessary.
I don't think it's wrong to have AI eliminate jobs but it shouldn't come without warning. I think it's rather forward looking to be monitoring ongoing AI projects and establish contingencies for folks who will become displaced by it's rapid spread.

Trying to get capto systems for the multi-task lathes and zero-point pallets for the mills. I do prototyping and it's the only way to stay sane.

If your power consumption is actually 250 then go for a 500w PSU. You'll get better efficiency.
Anandtech (rip) used to be my go-to for PSU efficiency curves.

Somehow I get the feeling Valve still had some lingering feelings about the failure of Valve's TF2 comp and they're trying to right their wrongs.

I wonder if that shares the same physics as silvent's compressed air guns.
Silvent’s air nozzles reduce the sound level when blowing with compressed air compared to blowing through open pipes. This is due in part to the reduction in noisy turbulence from using Silvent’s air nozzles, and also because of the nozzles’ special design. Silvent’s air nozzles pass the compressed air through small holes and slots, which raises the sound to frequencies beyond what the human ear can perceive. This allows us to make blowing with compressed air both quiet and efficient.
Could use an even quieter compressed air gun

You don't even need to be inserting probes to be able to do that...
OCZ had this 'toy' out in 2008.

one of the reviews...
Ultra-sensitive, excellent response time. Partial hands free gaming. Cool looking blue LED glow from interface box. This is the future of computer user interface. While designed primarily for FPS games, works exceptionally well with MMOs. Makes Crysis WARHEAD and FarCry 2 a joy to play. As a disabled person, this unit has allowed me to game with all the "normal" folks on the same level.

A couple old metrology equipment dated back from the 80s I still use calls them 'mil'. It's got dual dials for mil/mm. Gets me confused sometimes because the gauge can go down to couple millionths of an inch/couple 10s of nanometers.
LVDT for those curious.
There's so much untapped potential with a probing system and macros that aren't being utilized at all. This video demonstrates how powerful a quality machine and probing can be towards a future of automation and simplifying incredibly difficult setups. What gets me unsettled but also inspired is... This isn't entirely limited to the machine tool or probing system demonstrated on the video. We can do this NOW. Existing machines are entirely capable of exploiting their probing systems beyond their usual simplistic usage (part pickup, measurement). And the only thing really lacking is the brains to figure out all the heavy duty math.
I thought this was an extremely insightful documentary about why "Made in Japan" speaks volumes about quality versus the "Made in USA" counterpart. We as machinists are an intimate and integral component to the quality chain. Look around you, Japanese machines and tools dominate the precision market. Okuma, Yasda, Makino, Mazak, Mitsui-Seiki, dmg Mori (the Mori Part at least). While All American brands with the exception of Hardinge are left as a 'value' brand. I never really liked the phrase "it's good enough". It always gives the impression to me that they've never really had to put something together and have it perform. I hear this all too much in job shops that make parts rather than assemblies. Never in Tool & Die. Sure, the component has a .010" tolerance but if the machinist was to hold everything within .001 or less, it makes assembly work a lot more consistent and predictable. The linked video is part 2 of a 3 part video series. Here is part 1 [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHvnIm9UEoQ) part 3 [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WeTaLRb-Bs) So what's your thoughts on quality? Does the shop you work at feel like they value your effort towards quality?
Roders are some impressive machines. Wonder what kind of accuracy the machine is capable at that velocity.
Image originates from this video by OSG.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u286ZNupi8M The material being cut is PEEK Glass-Fiber 30%. It looks like it's fixtured to a Delrin block some how.. Any ideas on this black magic? Glue? Threaded from the bottom up?
Running into a dilemma... I have no trouble ending up with an accurate finished part with really tricky features. BUT...BUT I can't figure how to quickly develop a roughing strategy. I'm always doing short run items so I don't have many opportunities to be hogging out material repeatedly. So, when I get a 1pc job that needs a lot of material removed, I'm very slow. To a point, where I'm getting micromanaged.... on roughing. I'm inclined to be safe and prioritize process stability over Material removal rate. For example in HEM, Instead of doing 10% stepovers, i'll do 6%. In turning, I'll keep DOC down on the bottom left end of recommended specs instead of burying past the insert radius. I don't get off on huge MRR like others, my moment of glory is hitting incredible tolerances on a difficult design/material. What really scares me is... that a mistake in roughing parameters comes with bigger risk than just "tighten the bolt until it loosens up and quarter turn back". It's the part becoming a projectile/scrap, machine damage, and at worst an injury. Lathe work where I have only a fraction to hold onto and inches of material to remove.... How have you developed a 'sense' for how aggressively you can rough?

I'm in a situation with my manager who is suggesting that clock-in starts when the employee arrives to the site of work. Effectively saying that everyone should be coming in 15 minutes earlier than their start time. The majority of what I read online was about security checks when leaving the premises instead of entering. And the results of a couple class actions seem like the law has loose interpretation. Wondering what your experiences have been like dealing with this situation. Are you paid for your time traveling on company premises? For ref this takes place in California.

I love the statement because it's true but in context it's rather absurd... context: Elon calls for crazy tight standard tolerance of 10 micron (±.0002") because if everything is perfect then the assembly will be perfect... "All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy." https://www.thedrive.com/news/musk-demands-sub-10-micron-accuracy-for-tesla-cybertruck-build-quality-in-leaked-email ---------------------------- It's significantly easier hitting that tolerance on small parts... Try making the same lego that's bigger than a hand and you'll be going home tail tucked. And I can't wait for the cost burden to skyrocket. Perfectly functional parts being thrown part for small dimensional imperfections. Entire cars being scrapped because thermal expansion wasn't accounted during manufacturing/assembly. And the opportunities for malicious compliance... oh jolly...
